Bilateral Relations and Open Issues Between Romania and Serbia in the Context of Serbia’S Eu Accession Process BILATERAL RELATIONS AND OPEN ISSUES BETWEEN ROMANIA AND SERBIA IN THE CONTEXT OF SERBIA’S EU ACCESSION PROCESS CENTER FOR APPLIED EUROPEAN STUDIES 2017 BILATERAL RELATIONS AND OPEN ISSUES BETWEEN ROMANIA AND SERBIA IN THE CONTEXT OF SERBIA’S EU ACCESSION PROCESS Bilateral relations between Romania and Serbia have been traditionally good due to geographical proximity, historical reasons and common cultural traits. Historical ties have been developing especially since in the 19th century when both countries gained their independence from the Ottoman Empire, such as through intermarriage between the two national monarchies in the 20th century, and by the common creation of the called Little Entente together with Czechoslovakia during the interwar era. Cultural affinity between the two nations relates to their common legacy of suffering the Ottoman domination and sharing Orthodoxy as the predominant faith. More recently during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, Romania tried to persuade Western countries to reduce sanctions against Serbia in order to minimize its own economic losses but also for humanitarian reasons, and importantly still refuses to recognize Kosovo’s independence.1 The saying well known among Romanians that “Romania has two real friends, Serbia and the Black Sea” is also supported by opinion polls revealing rather positive attitude of Romanians towards Serbia, as opposed to for instance Romania’s northern neighbor, Hungary.2 Romania is situated on the EU’s periphery which is why it strongly supports further EU enlargement as it would reinforce its own security. At the same time, the Western Balkans as a region has not been Romania’s highest foreign policy priority. Although Serbia is the most important country from Romania’s point of view in the Western Balkans as the country with the largest population in the region and due to being a direct neighbor, bilateral contacts have been rather infrequent in recent times. After PM Cioloș took office in September 2015, there has been one official meeting of the prime ministers in the form of a high level visit, in November 2016 when PM Vučić came to Timisoara to meet with his Romanian counterpart.3 Even from an economic point of view the region is not that important for Romania, reflected by the fact that although Serbia is the biggest trading partner of Romania in the Western Balkans, it still ranks only at the 17th place among 1Serbian-Romanian Relations and the status of the Vlach minority in Serbia, Policy Study, ISAC fond, Belgrade, 2015, 20. 2 54.2% having a positive while 32.7% negative attitude towards Serbia. Towards Bulgaria popular attitudes were similar, 54.1% expressing positive feelings, as opposed to 35.2% showing negative views.

The two presidents met in July 2015 in Belgrade.

On the positive side from the Romanian point of view, Romania has had a positive trade balance with the Western Balkan countries, and with Serbia a dynamically growing volume of trade (albeit starting from a very low level) reaching 1.13 billion EUR in 2015. Thus, there would be some potential for Romanian companies to gain new markets in the Western Balkans, primarily in Serbia.5 In 2015 at the personal initiative of the Romanian prime minister at the time, Victor Ponta, the so called Craiova group was formed with the participation of Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia inspired by the Visegrad Four cooperation between Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Beside aiming at increased cooperation in such practical areas as the economy, energy, transport, regional development, tourism, internal affairs, justice, telecommunications, social policies, agriculture, food industry and concerning the EU Strategy for the Danube Region, it is also meant to be a forum for coordinating national positions at the EU and the regional level.6 Despite being a quite recent initiative, it has already led to tangible results. In October 2016 Serbia and Romania decided to build a high speed road between Belgrade and Timisoara. During the recent meeting of the two prime ministers in November 2016 the Serbian party indicated its readiness to construct the 91 km long road track on the Serbian side of the border. However, this project seems to be more important for Serbia, while the Romanian side is still considering whether it prefers a high speed road instead of a highway. There is also a plan to build a gas interconnector between Arad and Mokrin, which could ease Serbia’s dependence on Russian gas, although this would begin only after similar interconnectors were completed with Hungary and Bulgaria. As part of an electricity connectivity project, a 400 kW grid is being built between Resica and Pancevo.7 In the field of energy the Djerdap/Iron Gate Hydroelectric system should be mentioned here as well, which was built in the 1960s on the Danube marking the border between Romania and the then Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It is the largest dam in Europe serving electricity needs of both countries. In the area of common infrastructure development finally it is important to note here the opening of three new border crossing points between Serbia and Romania in November 2015.8 4 Paul Ivan, “Romania,” EU member states and enlargement towards the Balkans, Issue Paper, No. 79, European Policy Centre, July 2015,161. 5 Romanian exports to Serbia grew from $200 M in 2005 to $854M in 2013.

At the same time, Romania actively participates in Balkan regional forums such as the Regional Cooperation Council, the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP), the Central European Initiative (CEI), and the Southeast European Cooperative Initiative (SECI), and has contributed to rule of law and peace keeping missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), and Kosovo. Romania is one among the five EU member states that have not recognized Kosovo’s independence, which is naturally much appreciated in Serbia. Romania referred to principles of international law while justifying its non-recognizing stance, while also warned against setting a precedent for other secessionist movements. However, tellingly the Parliament’s declaration rejecting Kosovo’s unilateral independence also included a rejection of collective rights for national minorities, reinforcing the widespread view that the rejection of Kosovo’s independence was also motivated by fears of the Hungarian minority in Romania pushing for regional autonomy.9 In spite of this, reflecting its pragmatic approach Romania has cooperated with EU policy towards Kosovo. Besides contributing to EU missions mentioned above, it also opened a liaison office in Pristina, hosted several meetings of regional initiatives where Kosovo’s representatives were also present, while supports the visa liberalization process with Kosovo. Romanian participation in EULEX ended in 2012, however, when Romania pulled out of EULEX in protest over its non-acceptance into the Schengen area.10 Although PM Ponta while being in office suggested on several occasions that Romania might change its position on Kosovo and move towards recognition, this had more to do with internal political dynamics than indicating a foreign policy change. The fact that President Băsescu was very outspoken about his rejection of Kosovo’s independence could have motivated PM Ponta to adopt an opposing stance to that of the president given their conflictual relationship, while he might have also hoped to improve his standing in the EU. Given the Russian annexation of the Crimea and the events in Eastern Ukraine now, Romania will be even more reluctant to reconsider its position. Furthermore, it would require a solid national consensus since not only the prime minister but also the parliament and the president have to approve such a decision.11 While on Kosovo Romania has been supportive of Serbia, concerning Russia there are more disagreements between the two countries. Based on the Chapter 31 of EU accession negotiations all candidates must align their foreign policy with that of the EU, which is why it has attracted criticisms that Serbia has not joined the EU’s sanctions regime vis-à-vis Russia.

About 5500 B.C. the region was inhabited by Indo-European people, who in turn gave way to Thracian tribes. Today’s Romanians are in part descended from the Getae, a Thracian tribe that lived north of the Danube River. During the Bronze Age (about 2200 to 1200 B.C.), these Thraco-Getian tribes engaged in agriculture, stock raising, and trade with inhabitants of the Aegean Sea coast.

MLaDEnoVić, Institute of Archaeology Belgrade VESna P. VuČKoVić, Hometown Museum in Paraćin ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF BOLNICA IN PARAĆIN AND ITS importance FOR THE prehistory OF THE CENTRAL Morava REGION – a contribution in chronology and horizontal and vertical stratigraphy e­mail: [email protected] Abstract – The paper presents the horizontal and vertical stratigraphy of the site of Bolnica in Paraćin, based on both earlier and the latest archaeological excavations and the material which had been collected for decades by the Hometown Museum in Paraćin, as a result of the construction works connected with the constant urbanisation of the area. The presented archaeological material is attributed to a period from the Early neolithic to the so­called Dacian La Tène, meaning the 2nd century AD. One of the subjects discussed in this paper is the possibility that the sites of Bolnica and Motel Slatina, in fact, represent one large site, which was artificially divided by the E 75 highway and the Serbian Glass Factory. The comparative analysis, which encompassed the sites positioned on the right bank of the Velika Morava River, showed that this is one of the sites with the most independent chronological sequences in the Central Morava Region. Likewise, the importance of this site as a strategic point and an important intersection on the route from the Danube River to the Central Balkans, and further towards the south and east is underlined.

  • 90 Years of Czech-Romanian Friendship
    90 Years of Czech-Romanian Friendship The history of contacts between Czechs and Romanians reaches far back into history. The first verifiable documents of mutual relations come from the Middle Ages, when the Czech kings took an active interest in events in the areas of what is today's Romania. The visit of Prince Michal Chrabré to the court of Emperor Rudolf II could be evidence of this. Mutual contacts did not only take place on the highest political levels, but also on economic, cultural and educational levels as well. Czech goods were exported to Romania, and Romanian students visited Czech universities. An intensification of contacts took place beginning with the moment of the Habsburg monarchy's creation; certain parts of today's Romania, especially the area known as Transylvania, was part of the empire. The Habsburgs conducted a long war against the Ottoman Empire over that territory. In the end, the war ended rather successfully for the Habsburg monarchy and part of the territory was joined to the monarchy. During the 19th century, the state supported migration to these lands, especially to the areas of the so-called Banát. During the 19th century, mainly leaders of the Czech national movement came into contact with Romanians. Mutual cooperation was not burdened by Slavic motifs, which could in many regards be perceived as beneficial.
